Major players in the energy sector have raised £887,000 to support a project aimed at developing green hydrogen generation offshore.
The Milford Haven: Hydrogen Kingdom (MH:HK) project will be implemented by Dolphyn Hydrogen, Wales and West Utilities, Celtic Sea Power, and ORE Catapult, thanks to funding from Innovate UK's Launchpad: net zero industry, Southwest Wales initiative.
The goal of the MH project is to establish a workable framework to connect offshore hydrogen production with onshore distribution. The project will use Dolphyn Hydrogen's technology in the 90 km² Pembrokeshire Demonstration Zone (PDZ), located in the Celtic Sea off the county's southern coast. This zone is controlled by Celtic Sea Power and is currently used for wave and tidal testing.
Additionally, Pembroke Dock Marine, a Swansea Bay City Deal project, has contributed to co-funding.
Dolphyn Hydrogen states that the MH:HK intends to revise the current PDZ scope to incorporate green hydrogen generation from floating offshore wind (FLOW) and connect it to the coast and off-takers via a pipeline.
Low Carbon Hydrogen will play a crucial role in Wales and the UK's future energy mix, improving energy security and paving the way for the achievement of our net zero goals, according to Steve Matthews, CEO of Dolphyn Hydrogen. Demonstrating a workable route for manufacturing inexpensive hydrogen at scale from offshore floating wind, the Milford Haven Hydrogen Kingdom project represents a significant advancement for Dolphyn Hydrogen, our project partners, and the hydrogen industry at large. Being a member of a group committed to building a brighter future for all makes us very happy.
To expedite the decarbonisation of industry and gas users in the region, Wales and West Utilities are spearheading proposals for a hydrogen pipeline in South Wales.
From Pembrokeshire to the Swansea Bay region, the planned pipeline would run.
Because it is typically less expensive to carry hydrogen than power ashore, especially over long distances, the Dolphyn Technology offers a chance to expand FLOW's potential into offshore hydrogen generation. Another benefit of hydrogen is that it is not impacted by the limitations of the electrical grid, which are sometimes a significant obstacle to electrical FLOW projects.
